New microwave power divider can handle 250W at frequencies up to 2.5GHz

It incorporates proprietary high-power, thin-film resistors to ensure broadband impedance matching and high isolation between inputs when used as a combiner. These resistors are directly attached to the housing to optimise thermal transfer so that the film temperature remains stable throughout the unit’s operating temperature range.

Featuring an insertion loss of less than 0.6dB, the 2372A-2 provides exceptional phase and amplitude balance of +/-5deg and +/-0.25dB respectively. VSWR is less than 1.5:1, and isolation is specified as at least 13dB up to 700MHz, rising to 18dB at 2.5GHz.

Employing N-type female connectors, the power divider is finished with tri-alloy plating and measures 88.9 x 63.5 x 25.4mm.
